"Rocket" Advert

Hi

This is a very short post.

Kevin Do drew my attention to a page on Starboard's site which refers to two tests on two of their models - Futura and Carve. The wording on the picture refers to the Futura being a "real rocket" and this is simply a quote from the test result. The way they have structured the illustration though, is definitely a dig at Tabou's Rocket and one can easily understand the thing to mean "The Real Rocket".

Very subversive, very clever and good for a chuckle. Nice one Starboard!

Our season seems to be officially ending today. Windguru shows no more sailable wind for the forseeable future. Very bad

The next post will either be a piece on gybing or some commentary about the 7.8m sail dilemma for the normal sailor and how Joos has addressed this when choosing a replacement for his Severne Reflex.

About Me

This blog is all about windsurfing so I will keep everything windsurfing related. I am a retired guy living in one of the best flat water sailing spots in the world. I would classify myself as a good recreational sailor capable of holding my own against any other recreational sailor. Serious racers and national level competitors kick my ass. As explained in the blog the range of conditions and opportunities provided by this place has created a group of avid sailors who spend far too much time sailing, discussing and researching things of a windsurfing nature

This has nothing at all to do with windsurfing but is rather a lifestyle site with tips and recommendations for everyone.
